roy walker lyrics

I wondered all night
I wondered all night about you
I?ve been here for years
Just wanderin' around the neighborhood

Like a fresh manifestation of an old phenomenon
The breeze whips through the trees
The rustling leaves and branches bend together
They?re cued to sway
Forever by the forces of the Lord?s choreography

I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you
I?ve been here for years
Just wanderin' around the neighborhood

Just for a second the combination of sights
Sounds around him sends him hurtlin' back to the mirror
Of all of his teenager thoughts and fears

He passes big houses and family cars
They saddled the horses in cobblestone yards
He catches the moon lookin' down from the stars
Like it?s done for years and years

I wandered, I wandered
I wondered all night about you
I wandered, I wandered
I wondered all night, all night about you

Perpetual feeling in the grown up world that?s all
Around him that there?s secrets that could be revealed
With knowledge and philosophy

And, oh, to be dumb, oh, to be smart
He might be nursin' a broken heart
But feelin' this way he?s just playin' a part
That?s been around for centuries

I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you
I?ve been here for years
Just wanderin' around the neighborhood
I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you
